Tinting and adding some satin effects.

So no cracking and minimal shrinking at the edges. I have coated with AK turned earth gritty acrylic paste then a mixture of garden soil, small stones, sand, static grass and small roots chopped up with the hobby knife. I have also added silflor tufts and polak bushes. This will all get painted to unify things.

I thought it might be snowy. This is cool as well!

 

[JSteinman]

Don’t worry, there will be snow

 

[JSteinman]

Fine tuning, repainted the grass to keep everything tied together and added frost to the grass.

Well pump WIP.

 

[JSteinman]

Well, well almost there…

Added some Vallejo leather brown, very thinned down around the pump to show constant damp and beginning to rot wood. Wood is primed in black, then coated with IDF grey, not 100% coverage. Grain is thinned Iraqi sand applied with a small brush, then a dark grey wash. Edges are lightened with Iraqi sand mixed with white. Rust is from the lifecolor set.
